    Big Ben

    BIG BEN is the first and only alarm sold exclusively to jewelers. He is without exception the finest sleepmeter made—the best looking, the best built, the best running.

    Big Ben is a beautiful thin model alarm clock standing 7 inches tall and mounted in a reinforced triple plated case. He is fitted with big strong easy winding keys, clean cut heavy hands and a large open winsome dial, distinctly visible across the largest room.

    Big Ben rings just when you want and either way you want, intermittently for fifteen minutes, continuously for ten, and he rings with a jolly full-tone ring that will arouse the drowsiest sleeper.

    Big Ben is rigidly inspected, six days factory timed and tested. He works only for jewelers and then only for certain jewelers—those that agree to sell him for not less than $2.50.

    We pay his railroad fare on all orders for a dozen or more, we brand him with your name in lots of 24.

    Height 7 inches. Dial 4½ inches. Intermittent or Long Alarm. Dealers’ names printed free on dials in lots of 24. Freight allowed on orders for one dozen or more.

    In 1854

    Waltham Watches

    awakened Europe to the fact that the American method of manufacturing produces the best watches. Since that time the burden of proof has been successfully carried by 17,000,000 WALTHAM WATCHES all representing the highest stage of the watchmakers’ art.

    Are modern in the sense
    that they are the best

    making them since 1842,

    Howard. We guarantee

    Ingersoll-Trenton $5
    to
    $15
    The Best Seven Jewel Watch
    GUARANTEED

    The first watch guarantee ever issued was that placed on the cheapest watch ever made—the Dollar Watch—nineteen years ago.

    For those nineteen years while selling nearly nineteen million Ingersoll watches, we have been asking: “Why are expensive, jeweled watches not guaranteed?”

    The Ingersoll-Trenton is the first and only high grade 7-jewel watch made complete and cased in one factory; and therefore, the only one that can be guaranteed by its makers; others are assembled from movements made in one factory and cases from another, by the dealer, often a competent jeweler, but often, too, without facilities such as the adjusting and timing systems existing in our complete watch factory.

    The “I-T” has all features of the most recent, costly watches, which secure accuracy. “I-T” gold-filled cases contain gold enough to outlive their guarantees. Sold only through responsible jewelers, who buy direct. If not on sale in your town we will send, prepaid express, on receipt of price.

    INGERSOLL WATCHES

    For seventeen years there has been but one standard in everyday watches; “Ingersolls” have popularized the very use of watches. One friend says, “They have made the dollar famous.” They have never been so worthy of their great reputation as to-day. Fully guaranteed. They include; The Dollar Watch; the “Eclipse” at $1.50; the new thin model “Junior” at $2.00; and the “Midget” ladies’ size at $2.00. Sold by 60,000 dealers or post-paid by us.

    The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

    While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

    International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
